recently stayed at the BW in Carpinteria for a few nights. The first morning we enjoyed breakfast at the Sunset Grille. Staff all pleasant. Dining room nice and relaxing. Breakfast perfect. Had poached eggs with bacon and toast.Feel bad that there are so many bad reviews. We enjoyed it. Staff have to work so hard these days to make ends meet.

Not bad for bar food don't know why everyone is complaining. It's not a five star restaurant

Chose this hotel because the prices are cheaper than Santa Barbara. It looked good online and had the Sunset Grille on site so we felt comfortable we could easily get dinner after a long day of driving and hiking. The options on the menu for a vegetarian are a garden salad and fried mozzarella sticks. Nothing else. When I called to get room service, I asked if they had anything for a vegetarian. The answer was “only what’s on the menu”. That’s the kind of answer I got in the boonies in the 1970s. Not expected in California in 2023. Most places will at least offer to make a grilled cheese or egg salad sandwich. Also, restaurant in the hotel but no room service. I walked down to get my to go salad in a plastic container. Can’t really recommend this place.

this was a 3 night stay due to major tree trimming crew in our back yard. I had the breakfast sandwich from the Sunset Grill in-room service. Hot, tasty and Delivery was quick and kindly brought to my room.

We walked and were seated, weren't given a menu, saw another party that came after us get menus before us, waited 5 minutes for the server to come back to our table only to tell us that food would come out in roughly 30 minutes because there was a large party before us. What a joke.

The Sunset grill is located inside the Best Western Hotel. We stayed here for four nights, but after our first breakfast we understood that we would be going elsewhere for future meals. The poor waitress was over worked and over extended, but trying to be pleasant. They are so short on staff. I witnessed three young ladies being turned away for breakfast at 10am. This hotel doesn't offer any free grab-n-go breakfast to their guests at all. We paid $30 for mediocre food, at best. If you like burnt bacon inside your omelet, this is your place!

Enjoyed breakfast on our balcony - very nice. Ordered the CA omelet w/bacon, fruit instead of potatoes and a side of sausage. Wife got the Sunrise Sandwich w/ side of potatoes. Food was fresh, ready for pickup in 15 minutes, packed in sturdy plastic containers. Great value, tasty, convenient. It was nice to relax and enjoy our quiet morning breakfast.

Due to the current COVID crisis, food and bar service was limited to take out only. Room service was also available.

This place is part of the Best Western Plus hotel and offers quality food and drinks. Its clean and the staff is friendly.
I rarely eat in hotel restaurants...they always seem overpriced for mediocre food BUT I will say I was pleasantly surprised when we ate at the Sunset Grill on the 3rd floor of the Carpinteria Inn. It was getting late and the weather was bad and we just couldn't decide where to eat. At last we decided we'd eat at the hotel restaurant (Sunrise Grill) and take our chances. I'm really glad we did! We had a nice table overlooking the beautiful hotel courtyard. My hamburger and my wife's salmon were both very good. And the service was excellent. So while it might not be the first place you'd think to eat in Carpinteria, don't cross it off your list!

They have a happy hour from 4:30 - 7 most days. Upstairs at the Best Western Hotel. Decor is dated but staff is nice.
